Adjectives

In French, all nouns have a number (singular or plural) and a gender (masculine or feminine).

Most adjectives adopt the feminine form by adding a silent –e (no accent) to the end of the masculine form, unless one is already there. Adding a silent –s to the end of masculine and feminine forms gives you the plural forms of both. *** Don’t forget the exceptions!

Adjectives cont…

French adjectives are usually placed after the noun they modify when they don’t directly follow a form of être

Exceptions – BANGS (Beauty, Age, Newness, Goodness, Size) go before the noun

Other adjectives that come before the noun are possessive and demonstrative adjectives…

Direct and indirect object pronouns

Direct objects receive the action of a verb directly.

Indirect objects express to whom or for whom an action is done. Indirect objects are frequently preceded by the preposition à.

Direct object pronouns

singular

me/m’

te/t’

le/la/l’

plural

nous

vous

les

Direct object pronouns

The direct object pronoun directly precedes the verb that it is associated with.

Ex. Tu fais les valises?

Tu les fais?

Ils retrouvent Luc à la gare.

Ils le retrouvent à la gare.

Direct object pronouns

When a direct object pronoun is used with the passé composé, the past participle must agree with it in both gender and number.Ex. J’ai mis la valise dans la voiture ce matin.

Je l’ai mise dans la voiture ce matin

J’ai attendu les filles à la gare.

Je les ai attendues à la gare.

Indirect object pronouns

singular

me/m’

te/t’

lui

plural

nous

vous

leur

Indirect object pronouns

Examples

Claire parle à sa mère.

Claire lui parle.

J’envoie des cadeaux à mes nièces.

Je leur envoie des cadeaux.

Verbs used with indirect object pronouns demander à donner à envoyer à montrer à parler à poser une question à prêter à téléphoner à

Placement of object pronouns Object pronouns go between ne/n’ and the

conjugated verb.

Ex. Je ne le veux pas. Je ne leur téléphone jamais.

When there is a sentence with an infinitive following the conjugated verb, object pronouns go before the infinitive.

Ex. Je ne vais pas l’acheter. Je ne vais pas lui parler.

Placement of object pronouns, continued REMINDER: When a direct object pronoun

is used with the passé composé, the past participle must agree with it in both gender and number. The D.O.P. will go BEFORE the auxiliary verb.Ex. J’ai mis la valise dans la voiture ce matin.

Je l’ai mise dans la voiture ce matin

J’ai attendu les filles à la gare. Je les ai attendues à la gare.

The impératif

The form of a verb that is used to give commands or to offer directions, hints, and suggestions.

Form the tu command of –er verbs by dropping the –s from the present tense form. Note that aller also follows this pattern.

The impératif continued

Uses “tu”, “nous” and “vous”

Examples:

(Tu) = Écoute Mme. Suarez! Va t’en! Finis les devoirs! (notice for –er verbs, the “s” is not at the end in the “tu” command form)

(Nous) = Allons au centre commercial! Dansons!

(Vous) = Fermez les yeux! Ouvrez les livres!

The impératif continued

The nous and vous command forms of –er verbs are the same as the present tense forms. For –ir verbs, -re verbs, and most irregular verbs, all the command forms are identical to the present tense forms, without the subject pronouns.

The impératif continued

The impératif forms of avoir and être are irregular

avoir être

(tu) aie sois

(nous) ayons soyons

(vous) ayez soyez

The impératif continued

An object pronoun can be added to the end of an affirmative command. Use a hyphen to separate them. Use moi and toi for the first- and second-person object pronouns.Ex. Permettez-moi de vous aider. (Allow me to help you)Achète le dictionnaire et utilise-le. (Buy the dictionary and use it)
